A perfect blend of art and wine

Aug 21, 2013, updated May 09, 2025

Inspired by the new campaign Barossa – Be Consumed, Artisans of Barossa have got their hands dirty, all for the love of their craft and region.

Rich red hand prints of the ‘Artisans’ have been hung up in their cellar door and while the work of art has hardly had time to dry it is already receiving positive feedback from locals and visitors on the group’s creative flair.

Tasting Room Manager Kym Farley says the idea came about as the Barossa Be Consumed campaign started appearing on TV and they could feel the excitement in the region growing.

“The Artisan winemakers and our cellar door staff fell in love with the ad because, the way we see it, it highlights everything we do here. For example, our Long Table Lunch features a five course feast prepared by Chef Mark McNamara and is matched to the wines from one of our Artisans. It has the same feel as the long table setting in the campaign.

“We just had to do something in the cellar door to show our support for the campaign – and the red right hands were a really simple and easy solution.”

The ten hand prints all belong to the ‘Artisans’ of the Barossa – minus Kym Teusner, as they are yet to pin him down. They include; Mick Page – Teusner Wine,  John Duval – John Duval Wines, Jason Schwarz – Schwarz Wine Company, Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham – Sons Of Eden, Greg & Alison Hobbs – Hobbs Vintners, Jaysen Collins – Massena, and Pete Schell – Spinifex Wines. Mark McNamara from Food Luddite who is behind all of the gourmet food at Artisans of Barossa also lent his right hand for the project.
